I didn't really dig racing game much as a kid, so I didn't play a lot on SNES or Genesis, but 2 that I absolutely loved were Super Monaco GP and Super Hang-On because of their career/campaign modes. Anything on the SNES that has a mode similar to those?

Patent that brilliance now or regret it when it actually happens.

Nope. This is the internet. You're pretty much obligated to tell him he's wrong and call him a doody-head.

I always thought of his walking animation as the old ladies trying to power-walk at the mall. ... after cocaine

Yes! I can't believe I forgot about Knack. I love both those games and could never understand why they were considered "bad."

Yep. It's turned into a right proper shitshow.

A well read copy of The Secret? Eleventy Billion Bucks? More vacations?

God of War (2018) -- I felt like this was WAY too much "walk and listen." or "ride in a boat and listen." And when gameplay did start, I just button mashed my way through to the end. Party because I didn't care enough to play around with combos, but partly because I didn't need to. I finished the game, but not sure if I'm gonna try the sequel. Sonic the Hedgehog - pretty much all of them that I've played. But I dunno, I see a lot of talk about how Sonic is and always was crap, so I don't know if they're considered "great" or "crap" these days. Inside -- all those perfect scores but quite the bore for me. And that big shitblob monster thing at the end was just too stupid to take seriously. Forza Horizon 5 -- too much driving around doing fuck all, not enough actual racing, and the whole 'bro-dude-cool-kids" vibe was embarrassing. World of Warcraft -- I've seen people click "follow" or something and fall asleep while still playing and leveling up. That pretty much summed it up for me.

Yeah, I think they just meant to say they wish more people would develop for it, but worded it poorly. That's my interpretation, at least. It'd be odd if they were literally saying it can't "be programmed for."

It’s a SNES development technique that, when used in conjunction with colour blasting, loopshittery, and a couple other made up, silly BS terms, will unlock the uber-rare Mode 7.8112. Powerful stuff, really. If developers would use it properly, it could put a proper end to this decades long console war that some are still concerning themselves with. We discussed using that mode a lot when I helped Chris and Tim start Rare, way back when. They didn’t credit me for anything though, so don’t bother looking that up to verify. Sadly, I was on the toilet with a Taco Bell related Color Blasting incident when the intern came around taking names for their “official company records” and missed me somehow and I was left off all credits. You know how hard (and unimportant) it is for companies to keep accurate records… But give me a few mins and I can add that to my resume on a free blog somewhere to make it legit.

1) Hard West II (PC) This was great. I liked part 1 alright, but this was amazing from front to end. It's been a long time since I've been sad to see a game end. If you like tactical "X-Com" type of games, and have any interest in westerns (with a supernatural twist), give it a look. It was really cheap during the Steam holiday sales, and I'm guessing its the type of title that gets discounted often.

So we have colorblasting and fingerblasting. I propose we also add Mode 7.8112 and Loopshittery to the new official terms.

Hmm... I'm sure there's a lot, but these come to mind immediately. NES Hydlide Friday The 13th Simon's Quest (maybe my favorite NES game) I'm not even sure if those are considered bad anymore, though. One day I'll see everyone seemingly agreeing they're turds, the next day they're amazing and underrated. Oh well... I love 'em. Arcade Speed Rumbler -- same as before, I'm not 100% sure it's considered "bad," but I sure seem to hear that a lot. Sega CD Sewer Shark Tomcat Alley Bram Stoker's Dracula Dracula Unleashed N64 Shadowgate 64 Castlevania 64 -- another divisive one, I've noticed. My personal feelings though are the exact opposite of "bad," as I consider it a bit of a masterpiece. But I can understand why it won't click for others.

Isn't it more like a "self own," though? I mean, most people seeing this thread is gonna have the perception that he must not like SNES and/or finds Genesis superior since he's finding more Genesis soundtracks to post. Especially since they aren't gonna dig in to see the details.

What Rare games did he work on?

https://www.engadget.com/this-kid-just-became-the-first-person-to-beat-nes-tetris-191557002.html I didn't vet the info or anything, but saw a bunch of these articles about this 13-year-old becoming the first person to "beat" Tetris by getting a kill screen. Seems pretty awesome.

Yeah, it's just spam at this point and both have an agenda. Kirk wants to be known as a super-duper-SNES-expert, and the "super fan" posts because they "want to make Kirk more famous," or some such nonsense. Yeah, maybe. But then the whole SNES section becomes nothing but a collection of his spam spouting off what seems to be (according to actual developers) inaccurate info.

Wouldn't your (and Kirk's) agendas be better suited to a personal blog, though, instead of spamming the SNES section here? You said you post here because you're "trying to make Kirk more famous," but the reality of it is, anyone who finds all these posts while looking for SNES stuff is gonna find him in a pretty negative light. Heck, even if he's right when he posts something, the massive amount of negative replies gives the instant impression he's a delusional moron and whether or not you want to admit it, the only person liking his posts/content is you. With a blog, at least y'all can control the perception. Kirk can post whatever nonsense he wants, unchecked. You can reply to them all telling him how dreamy he is. And any negative comments can be removed so you can pretend the whole world 100% loves every word.

It's complicated. With any amount of $$$ raised, you need to factor in those high priority expenses like salary to selves, vacations, refunds, etc ... K, maybe not refunds.

I'm sure he ignores it.

Was Weaponlord considered bad back then? I absolutely loved it, but I remember the difficulty being brutal and I don't seem to hear much about it pretty much ever

Yeah, but that's to be expected when your first game implies its the "final" one and you're now pushing past 16 and and going strong 🤣

I wonder if Tommy can get another Guinness record for "Most money for non-existent console" or something. That's probably the one thing they did better than all the rest -- Suckers like Sony, MS, and Nintendo had to actually produce something to rake in the millions.

C'mon dude... Kirk has already done a great job leaving a massive shitstain on SNES around here. Please don't do the same for Saturn by feeling like you have to reply to every thread on AA (even some 20 years old that you're digging up) with some reminder that Sega Saturn exists. I promise you most of us already know about it, many of us already do play it, and that sort of thing only proves to be annoying.
